FILMMAKING 101: Online sources for learning the art and business of moviemaking



Everyday,I'm constantly in search of new filmmaking websites that provide valuable and useful information for filmmakers, filmmaking 101. Here are a few sites that I recommend you checkout:

Dov S-S Simens is a Hollywood film industry guru who’s been helping filmmakers launch their careers for many years. Successful film directors who have attended his 2 day film school include: Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, Guy Ritchie and Baz Luhrmann. Be sure to watch his 3 minute school. It's hilarious.

If you're looking to read the screenplays of some of your favourite movies, look no further than Simply Scripts. With a database of over 1000 free, downloadable movie and TV scripts. This is the ideal place for you to read some screenplays and learn more about the proper format and style of different movie genres.

Their motto says it all: obsessed with independent film since 1978

This online magazine provides great information for the do-it-yourself filmmaker. Ranging from topics like self distribution to how to get a Hollywood star for your independent film, they cover a lot of issues that pertain to indie filmmakers.
